Windows: for clueless people!

No, from what I’m reading they just pump money into it senselessly. VR/AR devices are $1B a year market and they pumped like $18B into it in a year. They just don’t care because they make so much money they can burn it.

You’re right, a lot of it probably went to the devs but from what I’m reading the cash burn is so bad because it’s extremely chaotic in there, lot’s of bad decisions, canceled projects, lot’s of directors swapping places. No idea what part of it went to low ranking devs and what went to consultants and building useless prototypes.

Yeah, but why ask Gemini about it’s priorities? I can just lie about it.

If a company can dump $100B into failed project and still be profitable they have too much money. Jesus, imagine would would happen if this money went to the workers instead…

deliberately misleading humans

Yeah… You dumb.

So you think Gemini told you the truth here? How do you know it’s not just scheming?

Here’s some documentation: https://developers.googleblog.com/under-the-hood-universal-commerce-protocol-ucp/

What this does is if offers a API for agents to communicate with online stores: check products, apply coupons, process transactions and so on. And the critics say that this will be used to funnel more data about the user to the store so it can “adjust” prices. Which is nothing new. Companies already are using all the data they can get their hands on to screw you. If you’re naive enough to give data about to you AI bot controlled by a corporation and then send this bot to a store controlled by another corporation to do shopping for you then yeah, you will be screwed.

chatbots are not agentic AI so it’s a bit unrelated.

Fuck Chrome.

What was his point? He just repeated the same position that in my opinion is ignorant and antisocial. From the beginning he didn’t say anything beyond “AI companies can take any data they want” and avoided many direct questions. There’s nothing to respond to.

Still ignorant, antisocial and a little big bootlickish.

I’m also fine with them using data they can get for free like, I don’t know, weather data they collect themselves?

Data hosted by private individuals and open source projects is not free. Someone has to pay for hosting and AI companies sucking data with army of bots is elevating the cost of hosting beyond the means of those people/projects. They are shifting the costs of providing the “free” data on the community while keeping all the profits.

Private data used without consent is also not free. It’s valuable, protected data and AI companies are simply stealing it. Do you consider stolen things free?

I see your attitude is “they don’t hurt me personally and I don’t care what they do to other people”. It’s either ignorant or straight antisocial. Also a bit bootlickish.

Ok, so you think it’s ok for big companies to break the laws you don’t like, cool. I’m sure those big companies will not sue you when you infringe on some of their laws you don’t like.

And I like the way you just ignored the two other issues I mentioned. Are you fine with AI bots slowing sites like Codeberg to a crawl? Are you fine with AI companies using personal data without consent?

Yes, they should because they generate way more traffic. Why do you think people are trying to protect websites from AI crawlers? Because they want to keep public data secret?

Also, everyone knows AI companies used copyrighted materials and private data without permission. If you think they only used public data you’re uninformed or lying on their behalf.

Great link. Thanks.

It makes people vomit.

They say because of AI people stopped visiting their page and now they can’t sell them other services. I’ve been using tailwind for some time and I have no idea what other services they offer besides some component library. There are so many free alternatives that I never even considered checking it out. I think their business model is that that great to begin with and AI doesn’t have much to do with it.
